Product Description
Review
This important volume is the culmination of many years work on King James In his meticulous, profoundly-researched analysis the author does not persuade that Jamess political and religious strategy was realistic in his time: he does compel us to admire both the kings pertinacity and the quality of his ecumenical vision. English Historical Review
Product Description
James VI and I united the crowns of England and Scotland. His books are fundamental sources of the principles which underlay the union. In particular, his Basilikon Doron was a best-seller in England and circulated widely on the Continent. Among the most important and influential British writings of their period, the kings works shed light on the political climate of Shakespeares England and the intellectual background to the civil wars which afflicted Britain in the mid-seventeenth century. James political philosophy was a moderated absolutism, with an emphasis on the monarchs duty to rule according to law and the public good. Locke quoted his speech to parliament of 1610 approvingly, and Hobbes likewise praised our most wise king. This edition is the first to draw on all the early texts of James books, with an introduction setting them in their historical context.
